He's out

I did a rbr on it in another thread, he kinda lost it in there a bit, got really frustrated. Kept going til the final bell really strong, but there are a lot of fundamentals he needs to work on, and he needs to learn how to calm down.

Yes he looked pretty good. Hes lightning quick, and was countering pretty well.
My only problem with him (ive only ever seen him fight twice) is that he touches his head gear every 2 seconds like hes got ocd. He did it in both fights that i seen him in too.
I owe you some rep brother, drove as fast as I could to get home turned on the TV and BOOM interview after the fight lol.

For sure.. Damn
High hopes still for my man..
Maybe the occasion got to him a little..
Just like Stable mate Danny Jacobs.. Somehow i dont know how he didnt make it through olympic qualifiers.. but still high hopes, he's turned pro and undefeated with all knock outs..
Certainly some hope for Sadam to do it big in the pro's..
Thanks for confirmation my two mans

I think Ali's style is better suited to the pros, but he has some work to do in the am's before making the switch.

Re: Boxing at the Olympics '08 *Beijing* Let's talk here! Post videos & pictures!!!
Ya know...we call this sport all sorts of things. Boxing. Pugilism. The Sweet Science. The list goes on...
And what is it, ultimately? It is 2 people, trained, prepared, hopefully readied to fight the person who stands in front of them to the finish, at whatever cost. I'll go on a limb and say this is how I fight.
What I am watching on tv is not this. It is a bunch of potentially great fighters, forced to reckon with a system of scoring. And because of it, we see such things like the Rau'shee Warran fight. A person who instead of listening to his likely instincts and just battling like a warrior should, get confused in the muddle of who said, what where, when how...and all the other bullshit associated with something so primary and simple as...beat the fook out of the person in front of you!
Add to that I say, get back to basics you shitfookers. If you are a fighter, forget about counting. Beat the shit out of the person in front of you. If you are the corner....let that monster you created be what it is.
Some great boxers are going to make it thru this shit system. They deserve it. Others will be marred by the systems flaws. Time for a serious look at it.

Irish Captain Kenny Egan just won a convincing 10-2 and with a favourable draw against the Brazilian Silva, looks a good shot for at least a bronze.
Nevin is on later.

lol yeah i noticed that when i saw him fight, like some sort of tourettes or something!
I liked the look of him, really quick, agile.
Also for us from the UK shame Billy Joe Saunders went out earlier, the cuban looked pretty good. Jeffries has gone through though which is good, only saw the first round as had to come to work but by all accounts he just scraped through (level points ref awarded the decision to him). Bradley Saunders fights later today hopefully he can go through.

Is a shame that one of our prospect for bring Medal to P.R. , Carlos Negron on 81 Kilos lost 9-3 and was eiminated in his second fight with the Kazajistan Yerkebulan Shynaliyev.....................
Negron is the thirth Boricua boxer that is eliminated in the Olympics Boxing , we now have only the Hopes on Jose Pedraza in the 60 Kilos and McWillian Arroyo in the 54 Kilos............
Negron been very estatic on his ofensive , he kept at the distance and didnt attack his opponent , while his Corner and the Team been asking him to throw punches ................
Shynaliyev dominated the combat since the beginning , Negron in the thirth round got 2 points , but was too late for him with the score of 8-2..................
At the conclusion of the fight Negron looked very upset , he didnt attend the Local Media and either the International Media , he didnt want to talk with journalist.....................
Tomorrow Jose Pedraza will face to the French Daouda Sow in his second fight......................
Heres some pics of Negron fight................

Re: Boxing at the Olympics '08 *Beijing* Let's talk here! Post videos & pictures!!!
Irish Light Welter was hard done by today.
Losing the first round 5-1 he launched a tremendous effort to fginish the fight at level pegging, he lost on countback against the aggressive Dominican.
Nevin boxed much more conservatively and cleanly and was unfairly penalised 2 points in the first round.
Observers such as Andy Lee and Michael Carruth voiced their disgust at the referee, but he'll be back in 4 years:)

There was a Heavyweight Ukranian named Oleksandr Usyk that i was very impressed with.

Final score was 9-8.
should he have gotten more points then he was given?
The Olympic scoring is a joke honestly and i wouldn't be surprised if he should have won the fight.

Both Warren AND his opponent were shafted on clean punches landed, all in all it's hard to say who got screwed more. Bottom line Warren can't blame anyone except himself for getting on his bike, whether or not he thought he was ahead, it was close.

Re: Boxing at the Olympics '08 *Beijing* Let's talk here! Post videos & pictures!!!
One of my favorite things about the Olympics is seeing African fighters who you don't otherwise get to see. Bastie Samir is my favorite this year but was knocked out by Washington Silva in a fight in which he was robbed. Didn't only land more but pretty much just thoroughly dominated. Shame but Silva isn't a bad guy to watch, would love to see both as pros but Silva is up there in age. Samir is a spark plug though.
It was pretty much a given that Cuba was going to come out of nowhere with some guys, they've been fairly subdued and not sure about their medal hopes but one of them looks to be Iglesias. He's on the otherside of the draw as Andrade, both have a ways to go but that would make for a very interesting final. That would be a tremendous fight, think Andrade is a bit more versatile and can do more things in the ring but definitely one I hope happens here.
It's a shame about Warren. The Dan Campbell era has to be over after this, there is just no cohesiveness with the corners and with the fighters. It's fairly unacceptable, I hope they wise up here.

Re: Boxing at the Olympics '08 *Beijing* Let's talk here! Post videos & pictures!!!
After viewing some of the bouts, I was not amused by the sportsmanship shown by two Russian boxers that lost their preliminary bouts.
Also, some of the judges or button pushers must be hard of seeing because they sure miss scoring points for some boxers, but score points that are called fouls by the referees.
Some of the boxers have shown ability, but then some have poor skills that shouldn't be considered Olympic material.
What ever happened to the effective use of the left jab. Yet to see any of the boxers unleash a series of three or more jabs in rapid fire order.
Hopefully, as we move to the semi-finals, more skill will be exhibited.

well the rules are kind of fucked to begin with, and the specifics behind what can count as a landed shot can easily be used as a cloak to fix fights
anyway tonight is rasumov and arroyo
arroyo is from PR, he should do good, he had a bye into this round so he hasnt fought yet
rasumov is the man ;)
and this morning ishii won the gold medal in judo at HW :D:D:D

Yeah SalTheButcher , McWillians made it , now after his second around , he will enter to get any Medal , that is a Hopes at least , i hopes he could get a Gold Medal , he won 14-6 to the Hungarian Norbert Kalucza , now he will face with Cuban Andris Laffita Hernandez on Wednesday , who wins would assure the for the beginning the Bronze Medal , and you are right bro , the Rules are kind of Fu*** , i mentioned this cause i saw Pedrazas fight and to me he won that fight , i saw when the French boxer been on defense the judges gave him points , how can this is possible ? , probably they could confuse in give score , but is not just on this fight that i saw this , was on several fights , something that is odds in this Games they should be Fair with all this Athlets , they are not sacrificing for all this BS..............

Price is good.

Re: Boxing at the Olympics '08 *Beijing* Let's talk here! Post videos & pictures!!!
Yeah definitely mate. I can see Egan getting atleast a silver aswell to be honest (at the expense of our boy Jeffires).
I've saw him a bit and he's really impressed me.
I can see Price becoming the poster boy for the GB team.

Oh I don't know about that Jeffries isn't bad and Egan has been on form to get ewhere he is - a slip and I think Jeffries could take him.
